Building Global Partnerships

Lebanon's position as one of the busiest hubs for trade and re-export is not limited to its geographic location. The Lebanese diaspora of traders and savvy business people is arguably one of the most internationally widespread and successful diasporas, especially within the construction industry.

The majority of Lebanese expatriates maintain commercial, economic, and investment relations with their native country, especially the communities in Africa, the Gulf States, and Europe. Hence, the penetration of the Lebanese market expands beyond the Middle East, securing Lebanon's international network. As such, products and services introduced through Project Lebanon are re-exported worldwide.
